One thing that I do that might help is NOT letting Lilypond install under Program files (x86), whichis default. I always change this to C:\Lilypond-version
e.g.
C:\lilypond-2-22-1

Windows has special security rules for the Program files (86) directory. Which teoretically would be satisfied by running as Administrator, but I had problems so I installed in the root instead...

PS! I looks like there is a space before bin in the path...

Ok, I will check. My Windows version is 8. The errors are:

"Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\ bin\libexpat-1.dll

Click Abort to stop the installation,
Retry to try again, or
Ignore to skip this file."

    I run Ubuntu and cannot test anything either. Could you paste
    the precise error message though? That could give a clue.
    Also, what is your version of Windows?

    Best,
